Village Bookstore

Leeds has a great deal of love for publishing, and the Village bookstore is a testament to this. An independent bookshop and gallery, it combines photography and art publishing exhibitions with a curated selection of contemporary art, design, fashion and photography publications, alongside self-published local and international zines.

Open seven days a week, its tireless dedication to showcasing the finest indie printed art works available makes it a sure highlight of the Corn Exchange. Functioning as a beating heart to the city's thriving creativity that spans a range of disciplines, the Village ethos revolves around supporting and championing emerging artists while also developing Leeds' wider creative community.

Village bookstore also accepts submissions from a wide variety of zine makers, so whether you've always wanted to try publishing your own zine, or you’ve got your practice to bring up, feel free to drop them a line for feedback and possible inclusion in their collections. [Edy Hurst]
